Quinn wasn't feeling the greatest yesterday so mom and dad weren't sure the type of night they would have. As it turns out Quinn slept very much the same as the night before about 3-4 hours between feedings and pretty content in the bassinet. We don't want to jinx ourselves but we can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
We are looking to make some good use of this weekend before dad has to go back to work.
Shane Mosa came to see Quinn today as he was in the area.
We will look to have a power packed day with Quinn today and get out of the house.

Quinn's Good Night
Quinn had a really good night last night. It seems mom and dad found a good position that Quinn likes in the bassinet. It looks a little uncomfortable but she seems to like it. She had a good 2.5 ounces before bed. Slept for almost 3 hours. Woke up took another almost 3 ounces then back to bed. She was really good.
In the morning Mom and Dad both looked at her and decided that she has changed. We are both not sure if it is just the fact that we got some sleep or she has actually changed. She is growing now for sure. She has filled out a couple of her sleepers and we can feel the added weight when we carry her.
It is nice that her schedule seems to be moving in the right direction. We think she might be getting better at figuring out when is day and when is night. We are hoping of more of the same tonight but we are being realistic as well.

Yesterday Quinn's bellybutton finally fell out. It looked like a little raisin and it seems a little sore but it is a milestone nonetheless!!
Mom and Dad's First Night Out.
Last night Mom and Dad had their first night out to celebrate their 4 year anniversary of when they got engaged and had their yearly visit to The Keg. Quinn had her first babysitting time with Aaji and Aaja. Aaji changed her first disposable diaper. Quinn slept like a little princess with them and just woke when we came by to pick her up 2 hours later.
Dad broke down and was the first to call and check up on Quinn and Aaji to see how it was going. Mom took great joy in the fact that it wasn't her calling.

Lots of Firsts...
Last night had some good moments.... fed at 11:00 didn't wake till almost 1am.... and some bad moments... eat at 1:30 and didn't go back to bed till almost 3am.
We are still working through Quinn's preferences..... We are still reminding ourselves.... she is only just over 2 weeks old!
Quinn got her first ride in the Lexus today. Mom said she didn't know but Dad is confirmed that Quinn knew she was riding in style!
Quinn also had her first ride in an elevator as well as her first time at the mall. After we dropped the Saab off for service we went to Sherway Gardens to look around. It was an interesting experience to actually shop for our daughter instead of a "baby on the way".
We both looked at her today and can't believe how much she has changed in the last 2 weeks. She doesn't look like a "fresh one" any more.
A couple people commented that she was big for only 2 weeks old. Mom and Dad's hard work is paying off. We also notice that Quinn's feet are now going all the way to the end of the sleepers. They grow up so quick.....

Quinn is changing
Well today might be the most we have seen Quinn change yet. She didn't sleep much but was pretty alert all day. Had a few "episodes" but they were all easily explained.. dirty diaper or hungry or gas.
She really showed us her eyes today. She took in more food on a regular basis and was very content. We did note that she does not like being in a shopping cart at Canadian Tire because they have tile floors which make for a very bumpy ride!!
We are hopeful that tonight will go well but we are also realistic... Mom and Dad keep reminding each other she is only 2 weeks old!

zzzzzzzzzzzz.....
Quinn seems to love her sleep... The only problem is that it is at 3pm in the afternoon and not at 2am in the morning. We gave her a bath last night which woke her up so we could feed her then put her down to sleep. Seems she didn't go for that. She was asleep in our arms but didn't carry that over to the bassinet.
We are both thinking that she just doesn't like the bassinet. It doesn't matter what we do she doesn't like it. We also find she is a lot more congested laying in the bassinet than she is when she is laying on the bed or on the sofa. We will have to try a new angle tonight..
Last night Mom and Dad didn't get much sleep and were hoping for a lot more. We will try maybe actually getting her into the crib. We know her issue is that she has trouble breathing in the crib. When she is laying in the bed or in our arms or on the sofa or on the floor she is fine.. all flat surfaces. It is like a mystery that we have to figure out. If she could speak she could just tell us. I guess THIS must be the fun of parenting....

Tough Love...
Yesterday we really started focusing on getting more time between Quinn's feedings. The one drawback to this is increased crying. However it did pay off as she slept for about 4 hours before the first feeding. That gave mom and dad a good stretch. We now have a good idea how to go after that illustrious good nights sleep. We aren't going to push her but we aren't going to give in so easily with the bottle.
Quinn had her first road trip in her stroller.. New pictures are posted at www.brelan.ca
The stroller handled beautifully in the trip to her grandparents. I am not sure her grandparents understood that we walked over as her Aaji asked us where the car was. They then called us a couple times to make sure we got home. Not sure where they think we would have gone. They were also stressed out because Quinn was getting hungry and we weren't feeding her right away... we know it is a process.
Quinn got weighed again today and is up another 2 ounces to 7lbs 3oz. This is good news as we can really focus on getting her schedule down.
Quinn made her first visit to a restaurant with mom and dad. We went to Kelsey's for lunch. Quinn was really good but near the end of the lunch her patience was wearing thin...
This parenting thing isn't at all like riding a bike. Bikes don't keep changing every couple days....
